Alex Palerm: PREPARADO PARA UNA DURA TEMPORADA
15.1.2010 von Wolfgang.
Alex Palerm con tan sólo 13 años está preparado para afrontar su tercera temporada en el Campeonato de Cataluña de Karting y también volverá a participar en el Campeonato de España dentro de la categoría KF3.
Después de la primera prueba realizada el pasado mes de diciembre en Es Vendrell, dentro de la Copa Campeones, el joven piloto mallorquín ya sabe lo que es competir en la categoría KF3, la potencia y dimensiones del kart son muy diferentes a su anterior montura, y además el peso y tamaño de Palerm se adaptan mucho mejor a esta nueva categoría.
Todo el equipo está muy ilusionado con la rápida adaptación al coche, saben que ahora podrá desarrollar todo su potencial y que no se conformará con pasar una temporada de adaptación, luchará por el mejor resultado posible.

MULLER’S FIRST TEST WITH CHEVROLET
15.1.2010 von Wolfgang.
2008 FIA WTCC champion Yvan Muller made his first appearance behind the wheel of the Chevrolet Cruze earlier this week, at Valencia’s Circuito Ricardo Tormo.
The Chevrolet WTCC team successfully completed the two-day testing session held on Monday and Tuesday. Despite Spain being hit by bad weather, conditions were excellent for testing on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. Yvan Muller and Rob Huff carried out an intense programme, aimed at testing different balance solutions and optimizing set-ups.
Chevrolet’s new recruit Yvan Muller, proved he is already perfectly integrated in his new team and completely at ease with the Cruze, despite having discovered the car only very recently.
"I am still discovering the Cruze but can already tell it is a car with an excellent basis and a good potential for further growth. The team looks extremely professional and I am very pleased with the way we are working here in Valencia," Muller commented.
Chevrolet will be testing again next week, on 20th and 21st January, at Portimão, where Alain Menu and Yvan Muller will be sharing driving duties.

SEAT TO SUPPORT CUSTOMER TEAMS
SEAT Sport will not take part in the 2010 FIA WTCC; however the Spanish car manufacturer announced that SEAT Sport will give maximum support to the drivers who will be competing in the León TDI and the fuel-powered León FSI cars.
Jaime Puig, SEAT Sport Director explained: "After achieving all possible successes in the WTCC, we are now going to focus all our efforts on customer sports in different championships, such as the WTCC. We are always eager to win when a SEAT is on the track and to do so, SEAT Sport will provide all of our customers with the necessary technical support."
Dominik Hoberg, SEAT Communications Director, added: "SEAT will continue with a noteworthy presence in motor sports in 2010, with a team of highly qualified professionals of which we are particularly proud of, but the company will have a different approach as regards to its motor sports activity. The presence of our cars in different championships and countries will continue to be a major value to strengthen our brand image."
MICHEL NYKJÆR TO RACE FOR SUNRED
Reigning Danish Touring Car champion Michel Nykjær will take part in the 2010 FIA WTCC at the wheel of a SEAT León run by SUNRED Engineering.
During the latest seasons the 30-year old Dane emerged as one of the most successful touring car drivers in Europe, clinching two Danish Touring Car titles (2007 and 2009) and twice winning the FIA European Touring Car Cup (2007 and 2008) in SEAT León and Chevrolet Lacetti cars.
Nykjær, who is sponsored by Pole Position Denmark and Valvoline International, has recently driven the SUNRED car in a private test, with excellent results.
"The SEAT León is a fantastic car. SUNRED and SEAT Sport have very close relationships and I am confident that they can help me to reach the very top. My goal is to win the Independents’ Trophy in 2010, which I consider possible in spite of the tough competition," Nykjær said.

D’ASTE RETURNS TO PROTEAM
Stefano D’Aste will return to Proteam Motorsport for the 2010 FIA WTCC season. The Italian driver previously raced for the team directed by Valmiro Presenzini Mattoli in 2005, 2006 and 2008, but spent the 2007 and 2009 seasons with Wiechers-Sport.
"I am very pleased with our agreement. With D’Aste back in the team we can look at the next season with high expectations," said Presenzini.
"I am really happy I have received this offer from Proteam. We have managed to find a deal and we have the same goal: achieving the best possible results without wasting money," D’Aste stated.
The team is currently negotiating to sign their second driver, whose name will be unveiled soon.

David Salom: PILOTO OFICIAL TRIUMPH
15.1.2010 von Wolfgang.
Esta temporada 2010, el joven mallorquín David Salom (25 años) participará en el Campeonato del Mundo de Supersport dentro del equipo Parking GO Triumph BE1 como piloto oficial de la marca británica.
Tras su participación en el mundial de Superbikes la temporada pasada, las interesantes ofertas recibidas desde diferentes equipos para este año, han retrasado la decisión final de Salom.
David participará junto al lengendario Garry McCoy y el joven Chaz Davies dentro de la estructura del BE1 Racing, contando de esta forma con tres pilotos en pista para reforzar el liderazgo y fuerza del equipo en la categoría.
La experiencia y juventud del mallorquín han sido los factores más importantes para el equipo. Sus resultados dentro de la categoría Supersport han sido muy destacados, siendo Campeón de España en 2006 y participando en 2007 y 2008 en el Mundial de Supersport, consiguiendo un quinto puesto Assen y otra quinta posición en Valencia.
Giuliano Rovelli (Director del equipo)"Desde hace tiempo veníamos observando las actuaciones de David y estoy seguro que este es su mejor momento deportivo, con la maduréz necesaria para poder explotar todo su potencial. Para poder adaptarse a nuestra Daytona 675, realizaremos una pequeña pretemporada entre Valencia, Portugal y Australia antes la primera prueba del Mundial de Supersport."
David Salom: "Estoy muy contento de poder participar como piloto oficial por primera vez en mi carrera. Los primeros contactos con el equipo han sido muy positivos, un gran grupo de trabajo y una moto competitiva me han hecho decidir finalmente por este equipo."
